Do 8-year-olds need glasses for 150 degrees of myopia?

An 8-year-old child with 150 degrees of myopia does not need to wear eyeglasses if the myopia is pseudomyopia, but he/she needs to wear eyeglasses if the myopia is true myopia. If the child is 150 degrees myopic, you need to take the child to a regular eye hospital for further examination to assess whether the child is suffering from true myopia or pseudomyopia. If the child is pseudomyopia, it is mostly a temporary myopia caused by ciliary muscle spasm due to prolonged close eye use, the child can avoid prolonged close eye use, outdoor activities, relaxing the eyes, restoring the orthoptic state and improving vision, and does not need to wear eyeglasses. If the child is truly myopic, it is usually irreversible and the patient needs to wear glasses to correct the myopia and improve vision. If the child continues to fatigue the eyes, amblyopia or myopia progression may occur. It is recommended that myopic patients seek timely medical attention to assess their condition, follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment, and develop good eye habits.
